Grass, golf and fantasy footy: Demon reflects on stunning rise to career high as Wimbledon looms
LONDON , ENGLAND - JUNE 17: Alex de Minaur of Australia speaks to the media on Day One of the cinch Championships at The Queen's Club on June 17, 2024 in London , England. After a significant breakthrough in Paris this month, Alex de Minaur headed to London and spent his brief “break” swatting tennis balls at Wimbledon and whacking golf balls on courses around town while finetuning his fantasy football teams .
“I got to London and very first day I stepped on the grass and hit in the morning, played golf in the afternoon and I did that for three days straight before going to Holland. That was my prep. A lot of golf, a lot of tennis on the grass and it was a perfect recipe for Holland.” LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 17: Alex de Minaur of Australia poses for a photo with a Australia Olympic Games Team ticket on Day One of the cinch Championships at The Queen's Club on June 17, 2024 in London, England. A finalist at the Queen’s Club last year when beaten in a high-level final by Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz, who then went on to win his first Wimbledon title, de Minaur is delighted to be returning to the tournament as the No.2 seed.
The dual-grand slam quarterfinalist opens his Queen’s Club campaign against Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who pushed Novak Djokovic to five sets at Roland Garros earlier in June.
